Fall is Here

On our way to Salida today, I could see the aspens had turned in the mountains. We don’t notice them from below except when they put on their colors (mostly yellows).

This was taken in Coaldale, CO looking to the south west into the northernmost Sangres. The altitudes for the color is about 10,000′ up. It is hard to tell in the small picture (click the picture for a large one) but the color is along the flanks of the middle mountains which are Sangre “foothills”.
